Sadly, very true.

OTOH: Scanning every line (javascript or plain HTML) for specific
character groups and teasing out the rest of the address around them, is
something that I have learned how to code, and it has proved to be not
too difficult. So THAT is what might be possible with a bit of luck.
Any javascript spaghetti-coded-function could be ignored. No one should
expect Arachne to handle the whole of javascript. I doubt even Firefox
does that !
In DOS, we have to pick only the fights we think we can win.
